Abstract
We found neurologically impaired children studied by time-locked video-EEG to have episodes of abnormal behaviors which had been mistaken for epileptic seizures. Recognition that other neurologically abnormal phenomena can closely mimic epilepsy is important for prevention of erroneous diagnoses of epilepsy, and thus overtreatment, in this patient population.
